ABOUT THIS SYMPOSIUM
Contemporary leaders of oncology are driven to redefine the notion of curative medicine by skillfully leveraging the power of collaboration to optimize everyone’s unique expertise and stretch research dollars in order to drive innovation. They are also changing clinical trial paradigms and emphasizing combination immunotherapy, new therapeutic modalities, and precision diagnosis. Already, as a result of these efforts, the oncology community can treat cancer patients and combat cancer at the molecular level.
The annual Industry/Academia Translational Oncology Symposium at Moores Cancer Center, now celebrating its 14th year, was created to support multi-modality collaborations and foster new partnerships in order to speed new therapies to patients. Each year the Symposium’s esteemed presenters from around the world, including clinicians, researchers, and top decision makers from industry and academia, attest to just how necessary it was for them to surmount multiple obstacles, in and out of the lab, in order to achieve success and help patients. The forum provides a platform for oncology innovators to highlight their interdisciplinary approach, as opposed to discussion on a specific type of cancer. Case study presentations showcase successful efforts, the challenges that they encountered, and the lessons they have learned from the process.
